Bottled Time

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Cool Sendri grabs some ice and runs towards Luke, pressing the ice to his eye. BRO...HEY BRO, YOU'RE ALRIGHT...YOU'RE ALIVE.

[Kennifer]

"Okay. So... What did you find out while we were... getting shot in the future? Anything useful?"

[KungFuCutbug]

[Luke's about to mutter a snide remark about Madelyn being “a little” stressed under his breath when Pinky and Cool Sendri give him the ice pack. The coldness... doesn't phase him all that much. Maybe it's because they're in Siberia.] “Aahhhh... thank you both. Apologies for nearly losing my temper earlier. I, err, tend to act... rather irrationally in pain.”

[MadeOfMilk]

Oh, no worries. I guess we were both acting irrationally.

[PointMaid]

It's okay, Pinky says. ...I'm used to it.

Brain, not quite getting what Pinky is insunuating, just re-states what he said about the fiingerprints. Dio's were on the match, but aren't like the other prints, such as Jay's chin.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

FLORAN...FLORAN GETSS IT. SSUCH THINGSS CAN CATCH EVEN THE COOLESST HEAD OFF GUARD. ANYWAYSS...NO LASSERS IN THE FUTURE. BUT FLORAN'SS GOT AN IDEA.. They reach towards Jay's chin, trying to grab the laser gun to examine it.

>try to examine the prints on the laser gun itself

[KungFuCutbug]

“As long as you and I both recognize our mutual irrationality, then all is forgiven.” [Luke manages a small smile at Madelyn. He's tempted to ask her what she meant by “I'LL SAVE YOU THIS TIME”, but... No. Not now. Not after she just calmed down from... whatever the hell that was. A man of his intellect can make a reasonable guess for now—perhaps someone she was tasked with protecting got shot and died without a guarantee of respawning.]

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Well, it's a good thing we don't actually die in the rifts then, isn't it?

[TalesofUnder]

>Laser gun prints (5)

The prints on the laser gun are identical to the ones on the chin and crate.

[KungFuCutbug]

> ...oh yeah, offer your fingerprints for comparison purposes

[Kennifer]

"Yeah, really a good thing. Holy shit that hurt though."

[Dookie]

”So someone touch Jay's chin, the crate, and the gun? Weird!”

Alex thinks about it for a second...

[MadameButterflyKnife]

>also offer prints for comparing

[MadeOfMilk]

Madelyn pulls down her long sleeves (reluctantly, because, you know, SIBERIA) and > offers fingerprints for comparison

[TalesofUnder]

>Print comparisons (5)

The prints do not match up to FLT, Cool Sendri, or Madelyn.

[Kennifer]

Kennifer attempts to stop being shaky long enough to

>offer prints

[MadameButterflyKnife]

THREE PEOPLE OUT OF THE RUNNING. THAT, PLUSS THE FACT IT BELONGSS TO AN ADULT HUMANOID. AND THEY DON'T BELONG TO DIO. KENNIFER. JAY. REISEN. AND THE YELLOW TWINK. WE SSHOULD SSEE YOUR PRINTSS.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

> Offer prints

[PointMaid]

I'm pretty we'd already seen that the prints on Jay were the size of an adult human. ...We gave our prints, though, as a sign of good faith. And if Dio doesn't fit. Who else fits that description? ...Was Jay using all of them for some reason? He says he's the only one that knew about the gun under his chin.

[PointMaid]

Oh, good. Thanks, Jay. I'm just being cautious, understand. I'm glad to see you'r beeing cooperative, though.

[TalesofUnder]

>Print comparison (4)

Kennifer's prints don't match, but EJL's... ohohohohoho, that's an entirely different story. His fingerprints match the chin prints, laser gun prints, and the crate prints.

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

>Offer prints just in case

[KungFuCutbug]

“It looked like a pair of gloves was taken from the supply crate,” [Luke pipes up.] “However, when I looked, I can't remember finding any. Perhaps they were burned away by the laser or the match... But, in any case, should the prints not match any of them either, that might be a reasonable explanation.”

[KungFuCutbug]

[Oops. Bad timing.] “...never mind that, then. Jay? An explanation?”

[MadameButterflyKnife]

THE CHIN AND GUN COULD EASSILY BE EXPLAINED AS BEING HISS PROPERTY. BUT THE CRATE....SSUSS.
